★★★★★

I have had my DNA tested and the results were 1 Match out of 138 people in the DNA Family Tree database. The match was with Israel and the percentage was 0.7%. What does this mean because it is the highest percentage of all of the other matches for countries under Ancestor Origins.

Well what this means that your DNA is similar to about 1% of the Israel population.

Owen :

because 0.7% is about 1%

Customer:

That mean that I really do not have jewish blood in me?

Owen :

Now all this means that 1% of your DNA is associated with Israelis, but you might also find that you might have other nationalities in your ethic background such as German, English, Italian or others

Customer:

Yes those were also listed, but at .01%

Owen :

Well you have only about 1% Jewish blood - and that is probably very similar to many people in the US that have some sort of ties to Israel

Customer:

sorry I mean 0.1%

Owen :

okay - 0.1% means 1 in 1000 - so that is a low percentage

Customer:

I have 0.7% with 1 match in Israel out of 138 people in the Family Tree DNA database under the first 1-25 Markers and all other countries are at 0.1%...Please state again so I can understand a little more-thanks.

Owen :

I see

Owen :

Well you have about 1% of your DNA associated with other Israels,

Owen :

and the 0.1% means that you have a 1 in 1000 chance of having DNA associated with other backgrounds such as German, Austrian, Italian, English, etc.
